The foundations of a property can be implemented in a variety of different ways as it is important to remember that piling is not the most appropriate solution for every project. In fact, groundworks are reinforced steel cages that are installed in order to aid our underpinning or piling methods and ensure that the finished foundation is stable and secure. Read on as we go over three benefits of investing in groundworks…
Overall Singular Strength
Although they may appear complicated, groundworks are actually a rather simple foundational solution. After all, they create a link between each pile that is installed into the ground and this creates an overall singular platform of strength and therefore ensures that a structure is as stable as it can possibly be when the additional weight of the brickwork is added on top of it.
Affordability
Since a high-quality foundation can last a considerable number of years, many property owners prefer to see groundworks as an investment for the future. With this said, it is also one of the most cost-effective foundational methods because the steel cage is relatively simple to construct which means that less time and money is spent on manual labour.
Durability
By creating a singular strength, groundworks provide a foundation with more durability than traditional piling would alone. After all, piles may transfer the weight of a structure to the soil deep within the earth, however these multiple points of strength will eventually require intervention. On the other hand, groundworks can increase the lifespan of piles by ensuring that this weight is spread equally over the entire foundation.
Here at Rhino Piling, our specialists are well versed in a wide range of different foundational methods. After all, we may be known for the best piling in Manchester, but that doesn’t mean that we are willing to sacrifice our groundworks and underpinning skills in the process.
